The decentralized exchange (DEX) Aerodrome on the Base ecosystem urgently announced this morning (22) via the X platform that it is investigating a potential DNS hijacking incident and is urging users to immediately stop using its main domain. (Background: Balancer issued a 'final ultimatum' to hackers with a 96-hour countdown for repayment: otherwise, all means will be used to find you.) (Background: DWF Labs reportedly had $44 million stolen by North Korean hackers but has concealed it until now! ZachXBT: Not surprising at all.) The decentralized exchange (DEX) Aerodrome on the Base ecosystem urgently announced this morning (22) via the X platform that it is investigating a potential DNS hijacking incident and is urging users to immediately stop using its main domain to prevent security risks: We are investigating a possible DNS hijacking incident. Please do not use our main domain during the investigation. The investigation is ongoing. Please do not attempt to use any Aerodrome related domains for the time being. Investigation is ongoing. Please do not attempt to use any Aerodrome domains for the time being. — Aerodrome (@AerodromeFi) November 22, 2025 As of now, the Aerodrome team has not released more details, including the scale of the attack, potential losses, or recovery timeline, but has emphasized that users should avoid accessing the official main domain aerodrome.finance to prevent phishing sites or fund theft risks. Aerodrome, as the core liquidity and trading center on the Base blockchain, has rapidly risen since its launch, accumulating a huge user base and TVL (Total Value Locked). This DNS hijacking suspicion may involve hackers manipulating the domain name system to direct to malicious servers; similar incidents in the DeFi space are not unprecedented and have previously led to millions of dollars in asset losses.
